This is a lava rose it's on 9x12 paper but has a 1/2 inch border around it, I didn't tape it though so the edge does have a little paint on it, could be floated, trimmed, or the easiest would be to mat it @ 8x11 using the 1/2 border under the mat. I did put a little watercolor pencil on this and some white gouche but then "floated" whole rose off. It has 5 or more layers in the shadows.
